It makes me think about how the wartime moturay affairs would be taken care of.

Anyone here know anything about that subject?
Take note the rank structureof the US Army during WWII. There was no PV2:
Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Sergeant
Staff Sergeant
Technical Sergeant
Master Sergeant
First Sergeant
